Or, "How to lose images in 4 easy steps."
Step 1. Put Powerbook to sleep, but forget to "eject" CF card from PCMCIA reader.
Step 2. Put CF card in digital camera, take shots of baseball game with friends and family.
Step 3. Put CF card back into reader and wake Powerbook.
Step 4. Watch helplessly as images taken the night before are no longer on the CF card.
Yep, just a warning, it wasn't fun losing the images, but luckily it wasn't really that big of a deal, only a few images that I wish I had. I was surprised that pulling the CF card out of the Powerbook while it slept (actually, I mistakenly thought I had ejected it), would have this result, but I guess it makes sense - the PB would have likely had open file handles or something.
I'm surprised the camera didn't report a problem with the card, though...
Ah well, I'll never do that again!
